    if you go to a homeless community center thing (there is one here) they will probly let you use their address so you can get them. here in fl you get foodstamps for 6months! and IF YOU GOT A PERM ADDY,, A FREE CELLPHONE. of course i have that too ;) a lot of florida bums are dumb drunks so whatever. actually melbourne is a very easy place. one important thing you need is a way to make money preferably without just begging for it. do you have a guitar or anything? that bass saw thing might make you something. me i make jewelry, which is a hit or miss thing, but you can make more money that way than just playing music. music is a more surething though

    Hmm...i like that idea. Not bad not bad. I might have to try that. I dont really have a cell phone..ha like i have a number but i can only make calls to and from online via google voice haha but its free and it works.
    As far as the drunk bums go im going to do my best to avoid those as i do not drink at all really. Honestly ive heard from many people if you wanna make it homeless, you DONT associate yourself with the "chronically" homeless, people who are homeless and have no intentions on changing that. me on the other hand, i dont want to be homeless, however i will like the no rent no taxes for a change haha

    As far as making money goes ive actually done the same exact thing as you before. I havent in a while cause its very tasking on the fingers but i used to make necklaces and bracelets and all kinda of shit with hemp and pooka shells and wooden beads, anything i could find really. Its a great hobby although like you said its pretty hit or miss. Most people arent into natural hemp jewelry.
    Im not really that good at playing the saw yet though haha im still learning, A LOT
    and i dont know how to play guitar although ive tried many times. I do however have a badass mixer with an equally badass mixing program on my laptop with an infinite amount of amazing life changing music haha I wish i could find someone in florida into the psychedelic music/dubstep/trip hop scene. I love that shit and i love mixing it even more. Im not a professional or anything but im decent at it and i know depending on your location and the people you know there is potential money to be made. Shit id be willing to mix for free just for a place to stay at night haha but whos looking for there own personal dj? That region of the market isnt to hot right now

    dude you'd be surprised here, there are ppl looking for dj's well bars. but dnt know about the place to stay, and there are some dj's that are already established. as far as being homeless goes, the laptop, well its a hot item as in: ppl are gonna be watching you to steal it. every crackhead from here to keywest is gonna try to find that one moment they can steal that shit. some chronically homeless here arent bad. yes most are drunks, but a lot of them are alright. but whatever, i kinda know the ropes here so i could show you around town. lived here for 7 years, cept across the bridge lol.

    Really? thats good to know. Its possible i could find some work if i can find someone who needs a dj, especially a place like a bar.

    As far as the laptop and mixer and stuff like that, idk what im gonna do haha cause i need my laptop, ive been thinkin about looking into getting a safety deposit box that will fit my laptop and some cash.

    But either way, ive 950,000 volts that says that mother fucker wont make it two steps with any of my shit haha
    I may be a hippie but even hippies get robbed as i have in the past. Just gotta keep your guard up.

    But shit man that would be pretty cool if you could show me around a little bit and give me the scoop on the town, im not sure if im even gonna end up in melbourne or palm bay yet, it really just depends on where i find opportunities and safe haven.
